The '''TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology''' (CIT) is a school of the [[Technical University of Munich]], established in 2022 by the merger of three former departments. As of 2022, it is structured into the Department of [[Mathematics]], the Department of [[Computer engineering|Computer Engineering]], the Department of [[Computer science|Computer Science]], and the Department of [[Electrical engineering|Electrical Engineering]].

== Department of Mathematics ==
The Department of Mathematics (MATH) is located at the [[TUM Campus Garching|Garching campus]].

=== History ===
[[Mathematics]] was taught from the beginning at the ''Polytechnische Schule in München'' and the later ''Technische Hochschule München''. [[Otto Hesse]] was the department's first professor for [[calculus]], [[Analytic geometry|analytical geometry]] and [[analytical mechanics]]. Over the years, several institutes for mathematics were formed.

In 1974, the Institute of Geometry was merged with the Institute of Mathematics to form the Department of Mathematics, and [[informatics]], which had been part of the Institute of Mathematics, became a separate department.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Die Geschichte der Mathematik an der TU|url=http://www-hm.ma.tum.de/geschichte/|access-date=2020-12-23|website=TUM Department of Mathematics|language=de}}</ref>

=== Research Groups ===
As of 2022, the research groups at the department are:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Research groups|url=https://www.math.cit.tum.de/en/math/research/groups/ |access-date=2022-10-19 |website=

== Department of Computer Science ==
The Department of Computer Science (CS) is located at the [[TUM Campus Garching|Garching campus]].

=== History ===
The first courses in [[computer science]] at the Technical University of Munich were offered in 1967 at the Department of Mathematics, when [[Friedrich L. Bauer]] introduced a two-semester lecture titled ''Information Processing''. In 1968, [[Klaus Samelson]] started offering a second lecture cycle titled ''Introduction to Informatics''.<ref name="CS_History">{{Cite web|title=History|url=https://www.in.tum.de/en/the-department/history/|access-date=2020-12-22|website=TUM Department of Informatics}}</ref> By 1992, the computer science department had separated from the Department of Mathematics to form an independent Department of Informatics.<ref name="CS_History"/>

In 2002, the department relocated from its old campus in the Munich city center to the new building on the [[TUM Campus Garching|Garching campus]].<ref name="CS_History"/>

In 2017, the Department celebrated ''50 Years of Informatics Munich'' with a series of lectures and ceremonies, together with the [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] and the [[Bundeswehr University Munich]].<ref name="CS_History"/>

=== Chairs ===
As of 2022, the department consists of the following chairs:<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chairs and Professors|url=https://www.cs.cit.tum.de/en/cs/research/chairs-and-professors/|access-date=2022-10-19|website=Department of Computer Science

[[Friedrich L. Bauer]] was awarded the 1988 [[IEEE Computer Society]] [[Computer Pioneer Award]] for inventing the [[Stack (abstract data type)|stack]] data structure. [[Gerd Hirzinger]] was awarded the 2005 [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers|IEEE]] Robotics and Automation Society Pioneer Award. {{ill|Hans-Arno Jacobsen|de}} and [[Burkhard Rost]] were awarded the [[Alexander von Humboldt Professorship]] in 2011 and 2008, respectively. [[Rudolf Bayer]] was known for inventing the [[B-tree]] and [[Red–black tree]].

== Department of Electrical Engineering ==
The Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is located at the [[TUM Campus Munich|Munich campus]].

=== History ===
[[File:TU München GO-2.jpg|thumb|Entrance to the Main Campus in Munich]]
The first lectures in the field of [[electricity]] at the ''Polytechnische Schule München'' were given as early as 1876 by the physicist [[Wilhelm von Bezold]]. Over the years, as the field of [[electrical engineering]] became increasingly important, a separate department for electrical engineering emerged within the [[mechanical engineering]] department. In 1967, the department was renamed the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and six electrical engineering departments were permanently established.

In April 1974, the formal establishment of the new TUM Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering took place. While still located in the [[Munich]] campus, a new building is currently in construction on the [[TUM Campus Garching|Garching campus]] and the department is expected to move by 2025.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Major milestone in new construction on Garching hightech campus|url=https://www.tum.de/nc/en/about-tum/news/press-releases/details/35629/|access-date=2020-12-22|date=2019-07-25|website=Technical University Munich|language=en}}</ref>

[[File:MI-Gebäude der TU München Magistrale2.JPG|thumb|Interior of the faculty building for the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science]]
The Department of Computer Science shares a building with the [[TUM Department of Mathematics|Department of Mathematics]].

In the building, two massive [[Parabola|parabolic]] [[Playground slide|slides]] run from the fourth floor to the ground floor. Their shape corresponds to the equation <math>z=y=hx^2/d^2</math> and is supposed to represent the "connection of science and art".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hoffmann|first=Sabine|title=Akademiker-Bespaßung: Rutschpartie zum Café Latte|url=https://www.spiegel.de/lebenundlernen/uni/akademiker-bespassung-rutschpartie-zum-cafe-latte-a-216057.html|date=2002-10-04|access-date=2020-12-22|website=[[Der Spiegel]]|language=de}}</ref>
